Bananas are the "five good students" in the fruit industry?
01
What are bananas?
Unknown advantages?
Advantage 1: Rich in carbohydrates.
Bananas are rich in various nutrients, especially carbohydrates, and are in the forefront of other fruits.
Carbohydrate is an energy substance, which can quickly replenish energy and sugar for the human body and restore the body function.
Advantage 2: tryptophan is rich in content.
The content of tryptophan in bananas is relatively high, which is an important component in the synthesis of protein and an important precursor for the synthesis of neurotransmitters.
Advantage 3: rich in vitamin B6.
Bananas are rich in vitamin B6, which is a necessary condition to produce dopamine.
Vitamin B6 is a key nutrient in the process of dopamine synthesis, which can help the nervous system to function normally and make us feel happy together with tryptophan.
Advantage 4: high potassium and low sodium
Banana is a kind of fruit with high potassium and low sodium, which is rich in potassium.
The high potassium content in bananas is helpful to maintain the physiological balance of the body and improve blood pressure. In addition to bananas, beans, fungi, peppers and other foods have high potassium content. Therefore, while eating bananas, we can also supplement some high-potassium foods appropriately, which is more conducive to our health.
Advantage 5: Replenish energy
Bananas have obvious effects in supplementing energy and enhancing endurance.
Not only athletes, but also other mental workers, including students, regularly eating bananas can not only replenish energy in time, but also promote the metabolism of brain cells.
02
Will bananas quickly increase sugar?
Dean Xie said that it is easy for diabetic patients to increase their blood sugar by ingesting glucose, but the sugar content in bananas is different. Sucrose ranks first, fructose ranks second and glucose ranks third, so diabetic patients can eat bananas appropriately according to their own physical conditions.
Bananas are also a staple food?
01
Can bananas be a staple food?
Dean Xie said that the variety of staple banana is different from the fruit-based variety in our country. The staple banana needs to be cooked before it can be eaten, which helps digestion and absorption.
02
What are the advantages of staple banana nutrition?
Dean Xie said that banana, a staple food, has a high content of resistant starch, which is suitable for processing into banana powder, banana slices, meal replacement food raw materials, etc. The content of resistant starch is about 40 times that of rice.
Resistant starch is not easily digested in the small intestine, which can help improve the body’s fat metabolism and sugar metabolism, and help diabetic patients control blood sugar. The latest medical research has proved that resistant starch has the function of protecting liver, and it has a good dietotherapy effect for patients with fatty liver. At the same time, the staple banana still has a certain satiety after eating, which is not only not easy to gain weight, but also slower than rice and white flour in raising blood sugar.
